Changes made to the Innovation Grant process

Two changes have been made to the Innovation Grant process.

  1. For this round only, the deadline has been moved to Friday, April 10, to avoid spring break.
  2. For this and all future grant cycles, applications must be submitted by your area Vice President. The stated deadline (for this round, April 10) will be the deadline to submit your application to your VP.

It is strongly recommended that you discuss your proposal idea with your Vice President before developing the full proposal. VPs do have the authority to “reject” an application but can also provide valuable feedback to help develop great proposals that are more likely to be successful! (more…)
